Beauty is in the foot of the beholder.

I wonder if there is a disclaimer that shoes are required.

I didn't think any pedal could look worse then my old $10 Dano Wasabi Distortion, but clearly I was very, very wrong....

A friend of mine had that one but instead of standard 1kb ram (can you imagine?!?) his EE dad built him a 16k expansion board that was almost twice the size of the computer! :-)
And I distinctly remember that foil keyboard being really tough to type on.
Aaaaahhhh, the good ole days...

Get these and a reverse Flying V guitar and you'd be a total chick magnet, just saying....

I know a guy who has a reverse Flying V. I'm not proud of it, but I played the damned thing through my Marshall and it didn't sound bad at all! Looks awfull though, and I cannot get to grips with the shorter Gibson scale. Overall verdict: DO NOT BUY A GIBSON REVERSE FLYING V!!!!!!!!!!

Those things should come with a coupon for another Gibson and a 4 hour rental of a wood chipper.

You reverse flying V is no match for the sideways flying V

I like the idea of that, but based on some experiences - that big crazy backwards sweep thing is rough to play around.

That guitar needs underarm pads like crutches.
:)Gargoyle enclosures -> Japanese robot heroes -> 1kb ram computer -> reverse v's
madbean started something here. 

on the computer.  aahh... the good old days of typing command lines.  It was so easy to go from crappy computer to expensive paperweight.  and the answer was not in the 30 lb manual.

Man if somebody would just design a reverse sideways Flying V. Now that would be one sweet guitar!
